EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the central part of the main facade from the Chateau of Anet, nestled within the picturesque courtyard of Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The architectural masterpiece, designed by Philibert Delorme between 1547-52, stands as a testament to France's rich history and artistic prowess. Originally built for Diane de Poitiers, mistress of King Henri II, this magnificent structure showcases an early Renaissance style that exudes elegance and grandeur. The image beautifully highlights the intricate details of columns and portals that adorn the facade, showcasing Delorme's mastery in blending classical elements with contemporary design. As one gazes upon this photograph taken by Adolphe Giraudon in 1894-97, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. The mistresses' influence on French architecture becomes palpable through every line and curve captured here. This particular chateau holds special significance as it was one of the first examples in France to incorporate all three orders outlined by Vitruvius - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Preserved within Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris today, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our cultural heritage. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire architects and art enthusiasts alike who are captivated by its harmonious blend of classicism and innovation.
